A 60-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman were arrested about 4:45 p.m. Friday and charged with sodomy after a police officer found them engaging in oral sex in public, according to the officer's report.

The pair, both homeless, were behind a house near the intersection of Reese and Church streets when the officer approached, police said. The man admitted what was going on, but both said they weren't doing anything wrong.

Tommy Lewis Chester and Lisa Marie Elder were arrested and charged with sodomy. Chester also faces a public indecency charge.
